Hydro’s four aluminium manufacturing plants receive ASI certifications in DACH region

Hydro announced that four aluminium manufacturing plants in the DACH region of Europe are now certified against the ASI Performance Standard and ASI Chain of Custody Standard.

Hydro’s extrusion plants in the DACH region, offers products in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. The facility manufactures extruded aluminium profiles, and offers surface treatment and added-value operations to transform the profiles into the solutions that meet customer specifications in the transportation, automotive, general engineering, and building and construction industries.

 “This is a key part of our sustainability agenda and in our strategy to help customers document that they offer aluminium products that are sourced and produced responsibly throughout the value chain,” says Sacha Brandt, vice president responsible for the DACH region in Hydro’s Extrusion Europe organization.

“With this certification, we want to initiate a ‘green chain reaction’ by motivating our suppliers, co-workers and customers to work with us on a more sustainable basis for our future generations.”

Each of the Hydro plants – one in Austria, three in Germany – received their Performance Standard certification last year. The Nenzing plant in Austria and the Offenburg plant in Germany also received CoC certification in 2020.

“They have been joined by the Rackwitz and Uphusen plants in Germany, which achieved CoC certification this past month,” Hydro said.
